KENNESAW, GA, (September 6, 2005) – Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy®
Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems,
announced the addition of the iVision 20 series to their array of
compact single-chip DLP projectors. As the smallest and lightest of
DP's precision displays, the 6-lb. iVision 20 projectors feature the
latest DC3 DMD technology from Texas Instruments. The units also
include vertical lens shift capability, a feature previously available
only in larger, more expensive models.
Similar to the
original iVision series, the iVision 20 projectors are available with
either HD2+ or SX+ DMD's, offering class-leading native resolution for
DMD-based 4X3 and 16X9 formats. Among the new features of the iVision
20 series is an on-axis optical design, supported by a geometrically
precise 1.85-2.4:1 zoom lens (1.7-2.2:1 on sx+). When combined with the
vertical lens shift capability - more than a full frame of shift range
- the system delivers maximum installation flexibility and optical
control. Standard inputs include DVI, Component, RGB, Composite, and
S-Video.
The iVision
20sx+ renders a powerful 2,500 ANSI lumens and 2500:1 contrast while
the iVision 20HD delivers 1,200 ANSI lumens and rich 4000:1 contrast.
Lamp output is adjustable, creating the possibility to extend lamp life
up to 4000 hours. Based on the familiar and intuitive user interface of
the original iVision series, the iVision 20 is positioned to serve a
diverse range of customers and applications including:
- Dramatic home entertainment
- Digital media and advertising
- Corporate boardrooms and teleconferencing suites
- Training and education
- Retail and entertainment
- Religious venues / houses of worship
- Casinos and hospitality
- Military simulation / command and control
- Process control
- Immersive visualization
George Walter,
DP's home cinema market manager explained, “ The new iVision 20 series
offers great performance and user benefits in a very compact and highly
flexible package. The units combine the imaging quality of high
performance single chip projectors with some of the most important
integration capabilities of our powerful 3-chip displays, all at an
entry level price .”
Digital
Projection will launch the new iVision 20 series at the CEDIA expo in
Indianapolis, September 9-12. List pricing will be announced at the
show. The first 20 series projectors will commence shipping in early
2006.
